"All right, but just know we're here for you...including me." He added the last part almost as if he wanted Namine to love him and left the kitchen.

I frown at Riku's tone, but before I could go after him Darla darts out mouthing over her shoulder, "Look what you did, Princess."
What did I do?
---
((Dar's POV))
I came up behind Riku, "Hey... You okay? You didn't sound so hot back there."

I turned around at Dar. "No frankly I didn't. Seeing those two argue with each other when this is a time for thankfulness and being with people not fighting with each other. I don't know if you'd understand it but I've had to live with darkness because it's what's left of myself and keeps me human so I try to make others happy so that maybe I can find light inside of myself if there's any left." As I said that I felt hot tears pour down my face it wasn't easy trying to make others happy and seeing Neku and Namine fight did NOT improve my day.

Shiki looked at the text, "Not much. Most of it's done..." That probably wasn't helping. "But you know, Namine, we were having fun while helping you out. We did it because we wanted to."

"Riku," I frown, I'm not good at this emotional thing even if I wear them on my sleeve for the world to see. I'll try though for this man whom needs my help. I reach out and take his hand. "Thank you for trying though... And I'm sorry about them ruinning the day... We can still have fun, you and I, and the darkness..."
Looking down I frown, "We all have light in us somewhere, even if its hard to find. For without light there would be no darkness... I'm not sure what you had to go through and I'm sure it sucked... Hell, from the way you're acting I know it sucked, but today... Lets forget it, just you and me... Forget Namine's out burst, she's selfish, forget Neku's arguing back he's just trying to keep the peace, forget that things seem to be crumbling down around you... because they aren't... And I'm very thankful that you're here... So please... Don't cry anymore, Riku, please."

"I just made an ass outta myself because I assumed things," I sigh and nod to Shiki. "Think I should apologize?"

I perked up at that. "Thanks Darla. I really touches me that you care so much about me, it makes me feel alot better." I put my arms around her in a hug. "You want to come sit with me? I'll tell you more if you'd like."

"If you feel you have to, then go for it. But no one's going to hold it against you." She walked up to Namine and looked her in the eye, though she wasn't angry. "Today isn't for us to argue. We're supposed to be happy. And that includes you, even if you think otherwise. No one wants to see you, or anyone else upset. Including me. So how about we put all of this behind us, okay? Now, show me that smile." She looked at Namine, her expression friendly.

I smile softly to Riku and nod, "I would really like that." His arm around me felt nice, nicer than I have in years, and I let him lead me to wherever in the the house he wanted.

I couldn't help it, the way Shiki treated me reminded me so much of how me and Darla used to be, I smiled and then even laughed a little, "You're right... Alright! No more moodiness!"

I took Darla to the porch at the back of the house and making sure no one was around to hear us, I grabbed two chairs and after seating her in the first one I sat in the second one. "So, where would you like me to begin? I hope you won't think less of me when I do."

"The beginning," I say without thinking. "If you want me to understand I need to know it all... And trust me... I can handle a lot."

Shiki smiled, "That's what I like to hear!" She turned to Neku and pointed at him, "And expect the same from you. Got it?" Glancing around the kitchen, she nodded. "Alright, how about we finish up what needs to be done, hmm?"

"Alright." I took a breath, this was going to be awhile. "You may or may not know I was Sora's best and only friend where we lived, Destiny Islands. Not really an island per say but anyway, we were friends since childhood but Sora never was the type who stood up for himself so when the older kids would mess with him I'd step in and make them regret it but I couldn't be everywhere at once and he still got bullied around. That's how things were up until middle school where my PARENTS..." I gritted my teeth at that. "In their infinite wisdom decided they I was too good at Blitzball so they decided out of the blue that I was transferring schools and when I told Sora...Well, he wasn't happy to say the least. As the days leading up to my move went by he grew more cold and distant from me and I kept feeling that it was my fault because I didn't want to go and he didn't. Well, just before I left Sora decided to say good bye to me and it didn't occur to me at the time but the bullies that I beat down began to grow more bold with my leaving and began to beat on Sora again and I felt like it was my fault for not being able to protect him. But that's just the beginning. Do you want me to go on?"

I sighed.
"I don't know what you mean by 'responding to things you're not saying'," I said. "But... I am sorry we ruined things for you. All I wanted to do was help out... you were really upset and we wanted you to have the perfect party. I'm... I"m sorry I pissed you off."
Great job, Neku, I scolded myself. The dinner's not even on the table, and you've accomplished the one thing you told yourself you wouldn't.

I listened to Riku, my eyes growing softer as I do, "Oh... Oh wow, I'm sorry... That must of... Please, go on if you feel like it." What he told me hurts, but he said it was the beginning so I know it gets worse from here.

I raise a brow at Neku before laughing and pulling him into a hug, "Kiss me and make me better?" Okay, maybe my drink had gone a little to my head... But still, I think its a funny joke so I begin to laugh more.

K-kiss her?!
"Uh... Nami, did you take a few too many sips of that stuff Darla was mixing?" I asked, but still hugging her back.
